college major??

I am a freshman in college and want to switch my major to history and minor in political science..i started out as a business major just because my family said it would be a good major and i figured i would make good money right out of college...but i quickly found out that i hate the business major...i like poly sci better but my school only has a minor available for political science so thats why i would major in history and minor in political science...the thing is if i major in history i don't want a career in history...i love learning about history and political science but i don't want to be a teacher or work in a boring museum...what are some realistic careers with a degree in history and minor in political science?..and does this mean ill be poor for the rest of my life if i major in this?..because i realize sometimes employers think history majors don't have the education to work for large corporations...any help or suggestions?..i would really appreciate it.

With a major like that you could live under a bridge...
Your major doesn't necesserally dictate what kind of job you will have, so you can still do a History major and a minor in Political Science and still be able to have a career in political science if you wanted to. I know that doesn't really answer your question, but you can relax a little bit. Props to you for doing what you want to do, too.
